PSA (?): just got this popup in Firefox when i was on an amazon product page. looked into it a bit because it seemed weird and it turns out if you click the big “yes, try it” button, you agree to mandatory binding arbitration with Fakespot and you waive your right to bring a class action lawsuit against them. this is awesome thank you so much mozilla very cool

So, Mozilla adds an AI review features for products you view using Firefox. Other than being very useless, it’s T&C are as anti-consumer as it possibly can be. It’s like mozilla saying directly “we don’t care about your privacy”.

    I know … But people actually literally want this.

    Maybe FF is what we install for normies while we use forks for other flavours.

      No-one except advertisers want this.

      Most people simply do not care at all.

          Because Mozilla takes a metric shitload of your data via fakespot such as (but not limited to)

          Internet or other electronic network activity (e.g., browsing history, search history, information regarding an individual’s interaction with an internet website, application, or advertisement, and online viewing activities)

          https://www.fakespot.com/privacy-policy

          And then sells it to advertisers
